Grafton of the bill
White moved to amend section one by pro-
viding tina; no dams shall be erected that shall
endanger or materially affect the navigabilty
OF the rivers.
The amendment was unanimously adopted.

special committee of four two OH each side),
to consult rs to proposed amendments and re-
port 1t back at the earliest opportunity.

mitee consist of two-Senators Chandler and
Caminetti.
Lenahan moved to amend BIZ substituting
Ciunie for Chandler. The latter. he said, Is Il
farmer. and IL lawyer should be selected to cope
with lawyer like Caminetti.
Chandler indo.sed the proposition of Len
ahan.
Clunie said that two lawyers could never agree
upon anything
The Chair Senator whitel suggested that per-
hans a lawyer and doctor might be able to
cope with the monster.
Finally the bin was passed on fie, in order to
enable those interested on either side of the
ques, ion to consult as to proposed amendmi nts.
The Senate then took up the bill apprepriat-
ing $4,000 to enable the State Board OF Health
to prevent the Introduction of dangerous and
infectious diseases. The bill WAS passed
B. 49,, appropriatiiS : sd0.0g0 for the pur-
chase of addItio. at jute machinery and the
manufacture of jute go ds at san Quentin, was
taken up.
AbbJtt said the Directors of the Prison were
really not in favor of this large appropriation.
An increase of the jute plant IS not necessary.
The bill was introduced in compliance with Il
general demand from some quarters to do away
with convict labor i'll other branches. The sash
and door factory is Al paying department at the
prison and should be Iostered.
Murphy favored c bill. IL was true the sash
and blind factory had made seine money. but
the jute plant could be increased so as to return
Il profit oi s60,e0} a year.
Jones thought the prison could get along
without the additional jute machinery.
Baggs Thought it would not be wise to close
the sash and blind factory now, bat II would be

tinHal iGtc llant could be made available. The
Directors had already closed down the harness

sibiliiies ofthe jute factory at length. :.
The deb tic WIS continued at me length by
MessFs. Clunie, Gesfo-d, Abbott, Boggs and
others.
Bowers said he was tired of all this stuff about
free labor" The opposition 10 prof able con-
vict labor came from Il small element. We had
shut up the harness shop. which was making
money at the prison, and yet the ST res of the
State ale filed with cheap gods made in the
prisons of the East. The PRISONS are supported
by Ia;;es upon the lands of the State. and not by
the few in Sau Francisco who prate so loudly
about convict labor.
The ,nyic,s VS.. free labor bugaboo has broke
in afresh upon the Senate, and number of SEN
atcrs weri given an opportunity to place them
selves on record as supporting their party plat
forms.
